We used CityPASS Chicago recently and it was a not only a vacation saver but a marriage saver. My husband and I would typically argue about which way to go and what to do next. The CityPASS was easy to use and offered detailed information as well as discounts.

JennS

My family came to visit us from Colombia. It was their first time in the states and I wanted to make sure their first vacation was more than what they expected it to be. When I came across the Chicago CityPASS online I knew it was just what I needed to make their trip memorable. They call them the "little magic booklets," because it had everything they wanted to see in Chicago.

Maria

This pass is a great way to see all the best sites in Chicago. I had planned to visit all these places anyway, so why not get a discount for it! Also, it was great to walk past all the huge lines and get in more quickly.

Joshua

I feel like a VIP when I use this CityPASS in Chicago!

We have purchased CityPASS now for three cities, Southern California, New York and now Chicago. We have a family of 5 and this makes planning so easy and affordable!! Not to mention not standing in line for tickets!!!

Kildays

The CityPASS was the perfect way to plan our stay in Chicago. I was able to show my daughter my favorite places in Chicago, and a few others as well. The CityPASS provided a better price, and skipping to the front of the line was like icing on the cake!.

Vmartin

After doing much research about CityPASS and other group admission passes of the like, I knew I had to get the CityPASS. Chicago CityPASS gets you into 5 of the top sightseeing places - with an upgraded admission!

Great value - worth it just for the Sky Deck!The best part of the City Pass was having the Fast Pass included in all attractions. Especially the Sky Deck! The line was over an hour long and you only get 60 seconds once you get up there. With the City Pass and the Fast Pass, we were able to experience it 3 times in half the time it would have taken to wait once! AMAZING. The Art Institute is always amazing. The 360 is definitely a better a view then the Willis Tower, but the Sky Deck is worth it. I love Chicago and City Pass! This is the second time I’ve gotten it - that says a lot. You can’t beat the price for everything included!

Best deal for your bucks!It was my boyfriend and I first time in Chicago and we were very limited on our museums option due to the prices individually. But once we found out about the city pass we immediately bought and it was the best part of our trip. We were able to visit 4 different museums and 1 City attraction (Willis Tower). The choices they have available are for the best options! And for the price you can’t beat it. I will definitely be purchasing City Pass in my future travels

1000000% WORTH IT1. Visited Chicago for the first time and we knew we wanted to see all 5+ items on the City Pass's list so this was great for us. It's CHEAPER to get all of them at once with this pass than to buy them individually so it was a no-brainer!
2. Our first visit was Sky Deck... I literally was jaw-dropped the entire time walking through. We passed every. single. line. We passed hours and HOURS of lines that were wrapping up to the escalator, to the metal detectors, to the elevators, to the clear glass lookout at the top. Each of those had it seemed an hour wait of people so we passed about 3-4 hours of lines, hundreds, if not thousands? of people, all staring at us like 'what do they know that we don't?' It was like Disneyland and we were escorted straight to the ride. By the time we walked through the privileged "City Pass" fast lane-- we waited behind only TWO people to get our photos taken at the lookout box. Like... amazing. That alone was worth the entire cost of the City Pass ticket.
3. We had fast pass lines for every museum and site we saw! No lines for us at all! When you're visiting and on a time crunch, you don't have time to waste in lines! We got to see all 5 sites in 4 days because of not having lines! BUT they actually give you 9 days to use it, in any order, which is GREAT!
4. A lot of these sites are within walking distance of each other! Sky Deck was a walk away from the Art Museum. The Field Museum and Aquarium were right next to each other. We had such a great time!
5. Do not miss the Science and Industry Museum! I felt like a kid again! I had so much fun in there!!
